Here\u2019s why.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Registered land, ready to build, will dry up. Developer incentives will disappear overnight.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Land sales are on the move. Buyers in the market today are enjoying motivated land sellers offering rebates and discounts up to $40,000. As interest returns to market and land sales escalate, developers will no longer need to incentivise buyers to purchase and will return their rebates and discounts to their bottom lines. Titled land will sell out by mid-late 2025, meaning buyers will again need to add to their names to ballots for land releases or purchase lots that may not be ready for some 12-18 months.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Builder\u2019s incentives will decline<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Builders in today\u2019s market are highly competitive and willing to do deals. In some cases, prepared to build at cost to ensure that their forward orders are full, staff and trades employed, and supplier rates maintained for the imminent housing boom. As sales increase over the coming months, builders will again look to creep pricing \u2013 either by price rises or reductions in the value of promotions \u2013 to increase profitability. Furthermore, as we\u2019ve seen above, land titles pushing out into the future means that builders can\u2019t see the revenue immediately and need to protect margins and plan for supply and trade cost increases over time, also increasing prices, known in the industry as CMA (cost movement allowance).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prices will rise<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The price of purchasing both raw land and new homes will rise mid-late 2025 and through 2026 for a number of reasons. The increased industry demand for supply and trade will allow everyone to begin increasing their rates and make up some of the lost ground over the past few years, where most businesses have struggled to remain profitable. We still have a serious and immediate issue in a lack of qualified trades to conduct the work required to service our housing requirements in Australia. The cost increase will, as always, flow through to the end consumer who, in all cases, ends up paying through increased contract prices.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rental demand will drive investor\u2019s back to Victoria<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Victoria\u2019s high rental demand and escalating rental yields will lead investors nationwide back to Victoria, which, by all measures, is now the most affordable state in Australia. Demand for land in Queensland, NSW and South Australia, has pushed the average house and land package price well above $750,000 where as in new greenfield pockets, such as Charlemont in Geelong, it\u2019s still possible to build a three-bedroom house under $600,000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WE CAN safely say the Victorian market has now seen the bottom.
